Chapter 132: Chapter 132: From Now On, We Are Family
Huo Tingdong said, “She only took one baby, because if she were greedy and wanted to take both, you would have made a scene until you saw both bodies. She couldn’t produce them, what would she do if the matter blew up? If you hadn’t seen both babies’ last monts, could you have let it go?”
Lin Qi nodded thoughtfully.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Which clinic did you give birth at originally? Do you still rember the na?”
Lin Qi replied, “I don’t quite rember, because I moved frequently and lost the dical records. I vaguely rember it was called Aiyou General Hospital. I rember they mainly had a gynecology and pediatrics departnt, along with general surgery.”
Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll have soone check it out.”
Suddenly, Lin Qi grasped his sleeve tensely and asked, “Does this an… does this an, that baby might still be alive?”
Her eyes flickered, as if a fla of hope was kindled.
If the baby is still alive…
She felt guilty and regretful. She was too young back then, inexperienced. If because of this, she lost that child and caused him to suffer all these years, she felt imnsely sinful!
If she could find the child, she would definitely do her utmost to make it up to him!
But…
Is it even possible to make up for it?
Can seven years of missing love, and all the suffering because of her fleeting thoughts, truly be compensated?
Lin Qi felt regretful; if only she had opened the urn and taken a good look then, perhaps she wouldn’t have lost that baby.
If only she had been more insistent back then, to see the baby one last ti… none of this would have happened!
Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t get too agitated, this is just my speculation, there is no conclusion yet.”
Lin Qi replied, “But I think your deduction is very logical, just like what you said. If it were the person who swapped the ashes, there was no need to do more than necessary, they could have just taken the whole urn… Maybe, that nurse, that hospital, they all have issues! It’s my fault.”
She lowered her head, the self-bla evident on her face.
Huo Tingdong watched her face filled with dejection and guilt; he reached out and gently tousled her hair, “Don’t think too much.”
His unintentional tenderness touched her sowhat.
Lin Qi looked up, not knowing when this man had started to change;
Previously, Huo Tingdong was always domineering and arrogant, how could he show such delicate care.
Perhaps…
It was because of the incident with Song Shuyan; he felt guilty towards her. Earlier, by her doorway, he said he wouldn’t let anyone bully her again, he would compensate her unconditionally, she had heard it all.
Were his words true?
Seeing Lin Qi deep in thought, Huo Tingdong couldn’t help asking, “What are you thinking about?”
Lin Qi shook her head lightly and said softly, “Huo Tingdong, you’ve changed, completely different from before. You used to be so domineering and rough, a high-handed presence. Now, you’re comforting ; therefore, I’m sowhat perplexed, not knowing which is the real you.”
Huo Tingdong was montarily taken aback.
He said pensively, “Lin Qi, I already said it yesterday, and now, I can repeat it, I wouldn’t let anyone bully you, that’s what I owe you.”
At the door, a small hand gently knocked.
Lin Qi returned to her senses and turned to ask, “Who?”
The door was gently pushed open.
Han poked his head timidly from behind the door, his sparkling big eyes gently blinked. Seeing Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi standing face to face at a rather intimate distance, he suddenly widened his eyes, thinking Daddy was secretly being affectionate with Aunt Qiqi!
From his angle, Huo Tingdong lowered his head, holding Lin Qi’s shoulders, as if he was about to kiss Aunt Qiqi.
Han imdiately walked in, eagerly headed to Lin Qi’s side, his little butt constantly nudging Huo Tingdong, while his little hand poked his own rosy cheeks, standing on tiptoes, apparently asking for a kiss.
“Here! Here…” Han signalled, while pouting his lips and making a “muamua” sound, obviously wanting Lin Qi to kiss him.
Lin Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This little bundle of joy, every expression is so adorable.
She naturally did not notice Han’s subtle actions squeezing Huo Tingdong, and bent down to lightly kiss Han’s cheek.
Han then turned his face, presenting the other cheek, demanding symtry!
Lin Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she held Han’s face and kissed until both cheeks were evenly kissed!
Han was instantly overjoyed.
Momo also peeked in, and just happened to catch the scene of Lin Qi holding and kissing Han’s face, and imdiately felt jealous.
He wondered why the little guy disappeared as soon as he turned around, it turns out he went behind his back to seek kisses from Mommy.
Momo reluctantly walked over, his hands behind his back, and he unhappily glanced at Han, then pompously said to Lin Qi: “Mommy kisses Han but doesn’t kiss .”
Lin Qi: “…”
She saw right away that Momo was feeling jealous.
So, she went over, picked up Momo, and gently scraped his little cheek, “Is Momo feeling jealous?”
Momo awkwardly said, “Why would I be jealous?” He certainly didn’t want to admit that he was jealous.
Though he also liked Han, watching Lin Qi holding and kissing Han made him feel uncomfortable.
Lin Qi knew Momo always said one thing and ant another, he’s strong-willed and wouldn’t admit it, but his jealousy was spilling over.
So, she kissed Momo’s cheek, smiling, “Is this okay now?”
Momo said, “You kissed Han twice, I want three kisses.”
He definitely wanted one more than Han!
Lin Qi was nearly laughed by him, but still held back her laughter and kissed his forehead.
Now, it was Han’s turn to feel unsatisfied.
He eagerly ca over, poked his forehead, and seeing Lin Qi kiss Momo’s forehead, he wanted the sa.
Lin Qi was at her wits’ end with these two treasures, if this continued, it would never end.
Huo Tingdong said to Lin Qi, “Lin Qi, you take Momo back to the room first, I have sothing to say to Han.”
Lin Qi nodded and walked away with Momo.
The room door gently closed.
Han wanted to follow, but Huo Tingdong pulled him forward and said seriously to Han: “Han, rember, from now on, Momo and us are a family. You have to be considerate of him, understand?”
Han nodded sowhat understandingly, although he didn’t fully grasp the rights and wrongs, he was genuinely happy to hear that he would beco family with Momo.
After all, he really liked Momo.
Han tilted his little head and asked, “What about Aunt Qiqi?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Also family.”
Han’s eyes lit up, “Then… can I call her ‘Mommy’ in the future?”
“No,” Huo Tingdong decisively refused, “You can’t call her Mommy yet.”
